Rare mobs commonly have respawn times of several hours and they do not stay alive very long. I suggest checking the known spawn spots at off hours. This achievement will be easy since it only requires one rare. Follow-up for this on the other hand will be quite challenging.

I've found the High Thane wandering about in the Fleshwerks (Icecrown Glacier) to be the easiest to kill. I've run across him nearly every time I've passed by the area, and he's easily soloed. Failing that, grab a few friends and try to track down Putridis the Ancient, as he wanders between the Bombardment and Icecrown Citadel itself.

Loque'nahak is probably your worst choice to go after. He's the only Spirit Beast in the game(at the moment), and thus will be heavily camped by hunters.

Here's a Macro to use when you're ready to knock out this achievement. It's not perfect, but it's tough to keep the names of 23 mobs to a 255 character limit :x

There is a full proof way for targeting all of these mobs. The end result of this will be three macros, but you will only ever have to push (or hit the keybind for) the third macro. It will reference the first two in one click.Make three macros to start with.

/tar Fumblub Gearwind/tar Grocklar/tar Hildana Deathstealer/tar King Krush/tar Loque'nahak/tar Perobas the Bloodthirster/tar Scarlet Highlord Daion/tar Syreian the Bonecarver/tar Tukemuth/tar Vyragosa(It isn't a bad idea to add a /target Time-Lost Proto-Drake line to the second macro since you have extra room, that will target the rare mob in storm peaks that drops a mount of the same name.)

The Third Macro (edited so you can right click, left click, or hit the bind for the third macro for it to work - also note that you need semicolons after the first MultiBar line, not commas.):

(Third macro will be different depending where you place the first two on your bars)

Instructions: After making these three macros you need to place the first two on your bars (preferably next to each other and on the same bar for simplicities sake). Then you need to figure out what bar they are on (the third macro still works if you use a bar mod, but generally you want to keep it on Bars 1-6 of your bar mod).

To find out which bar your macros are on I suggest do the following (If you are using a bar mod it is a good idea to turn on your old Blizzard Action bars to figure out which of your Bars correlates with the Blizzard bars).

MainActionBar - Your Main Action Bar, it is the first bar you ever see when you start WoW. MultiBarBottomLeft - On the ActionBars panel in your Interface Options this is the equivalent of your Bottom Left Bar option.MultiBarBottomRight - On the ActionBars panel in your Interface Options this is the equivalent of your Bottom Right Bar option.MultiBarLeft - On the ActionBars panel in your Interface Options this is the equivalent of your Right Bar 2 option.MultiBarRight- On the ActionBars panel in your Interface Options this is the equivalent of your Right Bar option.

Buttons: MainActionBarButton1 would be the first button (starting on the Left) of your Main Action Bar, MainActionBarButton12 Would be the last button on your Main Action Bar (for your Right Bar/Right Bar 1 its from Top to Bottom). So in my Third macro example

Once you have your third macro properly adjusted it should now work. Clicking or hitting the keybind for that macro will attempt to target all 23 mobs in both macros combined (in one click). You can use this for Bloody Rare to make the macro more accurate.

Feel free to report any bugs or problems I will try to respond...Hope this helps.-Zykour/Monukai (US-Staghelm)

The drops of any rare-spawn (elite) mobs in Northrend -along with a blue item like rare-mobs should drop when killed.

Inside the package you get gold (15-25g), and perhaps a Crystallized item of some sort (the Northrend versions of Motes)

And just by the way.. this map of Northrend contains pins for all rare-spawns in the whole expansion. Use it, and use it wise... ;)

Onslaught Harbour can be kinda hard to find, look on your map, and to the west/northwest you'll see an island, not on the main landmass of Icecrown itself, but seperate, fly there to reveal it.

A highly useful little tidbit you can use to find the name of the button your mouse is over is:/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( GetMouseFocus():GetName() );

You can just paste this into the default chat box and hit enter with the mouse over the button, or make it into a (new) macro and bind that, if you want.

Blackspirit의 댓글

I went through and for each name put it into WoWhead's autocomplete search box, stopping when the mob was the only name. In some cases this produced a search name that was obviously too long or was competing against non-Northrend mobs so I shortened those as best as I could. This ends up at excactly 255 with I hope no false positives.

about this, i found this tukemuth in dragonblight, just outside of wyrmcrest temple, and this tauren druid was killing him, i was on my dwarf warr and guess what :O on a pvp server :P, killed the drood, then killed the mamoth and while i was killing him the drood came back xD feared him, then followed him and killed him again :D anyway, keep an eye out for those guys :D drop a bag wich has about 20g in it :P pretty nice for 1 kill

Those looking to complete the big achievement for killing them all, I have a tip for you. I just partied up with a group of people and two of them were AFK when we had to kill a rare. They were in a completely separate zone, far away. After we killed the rare, both of them got the achievement.

You might want to tell all guild members to invite others if they find a rare. You don't even have to be close to the rare.

I wish I had known this a week ago when a guildie found King Krush but had to kill it before I got there. I didn't party with him. :(

InThe Storm Peaks there is also the Time-Lost Proto-Drake, which is in my opinion the most important of all the rares in Northrend, as it drops a most badass mount every time you kill it.

It may not count to the achievement but should be added anyways to any macro you're spamming at least when in The Storm Peaks.

Possibly bugged in 3.0.8. I killed Tukemuth and didn't get credit for this. Not sure if it's just him, or if others are bugged as well.

Today I killed the Crazed Indu'le Survivor in a group with my friend. My friend got the killing blow and only he got credit for the achievement. I don't know if this is working as intended or a bug, but be aware that this may happen.

I was level 73 and he was level 80. There may be a bug where if there is a large level difference the lower level character does not get credit.

Just a PSA... Loque'nahak is the only Spirit Beast in-game the only Spirit Beast with his model and unique sounds, King Krush is the only devilsaur with the green skin, and Aotona is the only tameable parrot; all are highly sought-after by hunters, Loque'nahak especially. Mercifully, the other tameable rares, the newer Spirit Beasts (Gondria, Skoll, and Arcturis) aren't on the Frostbitten list, but they'll still be killed by people who think of them as loot piñatas.

If you see a hunter taming any of them, be considerate and let them tame. You will not get the achievement for killing it (it will be tagged to them), they will, since they've tagged it, and trust me, it's a long and stressful hunt for any of them. So don't be a jerk and ruin other people's day. If you see them and there are no hunters in the immediate vicinity, go ahead and get your achievement. :]

It really breaks my heart when I hear about a hunter who, after long weeks of searching and finally locating their beast, has it pointlessly killed in front of them. So please be considerate.

Good luck to both pet and achievement hunters!

I combined two user submitted macros to make the following.Based on Marabon's post on Medium Rareand used the target list from Blackspirit's post above. Updated target list to full names and added Time-Lost Proto Drake.Also Requires Super Duper Macro mod to allow for macros with more than 255 chars.

Marabon's macro worked great. I wanted the same thing for northrend since the above posted macro didnt allow me to look away and do other things as easy. This macro got a hit in like <20mins(lucky as I've used others for a few hours before) while in Dragonblight where I tracked down Scarlet Highlord Daion. This suprised me as I'm on a high pop server, but sweet at the same time. Seems like her location is a relatively safe bet as it is out of the way. Thought I should post this here to make it easier for us nerds.

But /tar will also target players but i guess u'll notice rightaway that its not the mop ur after, but! if u tar rare b4 the player u may keep skipping it!

I'm not certain whats going on but everytime i use keypress the triggers the 2nd macro twice then the macro (debugged by making me say 1 and 2) pressing the 3rd macro makes me say 221 , left and right click also makes 3 triggers also but in different order.

It works for all locales, and has the same range as your average targeting macro.

Aydinn의 댓글

Below is a macro per zone. I’ve made this at work so I used word to count the characters (including spaces) so if one is too long, try to shorten the name of the target to try to get it to fit. This is a combination of all the macros\comments that have been made so far so give credit to them, I just put it together.

YOU NAME HERE means you need to replace it with your name. eg. /tell Aydinn > %t <

leetness의 댓글

You can have a life with this addon. You can fly to zones for quests, run things, even leave the computer to do important things like sleep!

It has three key features when it finds a rare.

1. Screen flashes red2. a click button pops up showing you what rare it's found (click it to target rare)3. the loudest (funniest) bongo drum warning sound goes off. crank the speakers up to max if you want to go and have a nap or watch a movie or something. You will hear it when it finds something.

No need for these insane /target macros

Skem의 댓글

That is such a rubbish addon.

For it to work you need to be close enough for your computer to pick up an action that they have done. if they do not complete any action while you are near, it will not be triggered. Also to clear the 'cache' if you find your targeted mobs corpse. you have to exit WoW and delete some files.

Thats not helpful for camping.

Keep it easy and keep it simple. You can only be in one area at a time; write a few macros and load up the one you want for where you are.

And good hunting

search around and get an addon called "bloodyrare"

load it into your addon collection, sign into your toon and type /bloody on

it is a macro based addon that has all the rarespawns in the game and auto types a raid warning to you when it detects a rare. Makes life alot easier. And i have killed several that i would have flown straight over otherwise. :) enjoy and happy hunting.

Kuja의 댓글

if you dont have a fast flying mount for example, it's a good idea to create a macro from one of the lists on this page and spam it when flying from fp to fp. they take the longest possible route to destination usually and circle around places so there's a good chance you'll fly over a rare from time to time. upon landing, just fly or run back there with your mount this time.

I found King Ping straight after a server reboot. Is it possible that rare mobs respawn at reboots? Need confirmation.

Deathdealers의 댓글

It's quite possible considering the Dalaran Books do respawn after every server reboot. So I don't doubt it.

jacobwx의 댓글

only 5 of the mobs respawn after a server restart its the following mobs: perobas the bloodthirster vigdis the warmaiden king ping icehorn and griegen i tried king ping and perobas out myself and found em (note that they will need a few mins to spawn) went further to find griegen but couldnt find him possibility i were to late :/ i didnt care about vigdis as i allready got her

Spinkert의 댓글

NPCscan has helped me find 7 rares in 36 hours. Don't bother spamming macros, let this addon do it all for you. Just remember that if you want to find the rare again, the cache needs to be deleted.

dirtbike의 댓글

Really nothing more to say than Spinkert. Passively letting npcscan pick these up, I've gotten 5, not even trying. Just tonight, I and my guild were headed to do Sarth +3 drakes and npcscan went off to tell me Tukemuth was nearby. Got 4 people their Northern Exposure achievement.

Also, Putridus is one of those big rare-elites that show up in the game from other zones even. So just sitting in Dalaran, NPCscan will eventually pick up on Putridus. Click the box to target him and rush out for your kill (before someone else with NPCscan snipes it).

Or just park your character with this one in a regular path of a rare and alt-tab going about other things (making sure sound in background is on). Check your window every 20 minutes or so to un-AFK and eventually you'll hear the distinctive horns alerting you the rare has appeared. In fact, you should be able to get Frostbitten with this method. http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=2257

Firedwarf의 댓글

A good idea if you want to know where the biggest chance for rarespawns are, just type /who dragonblight, /who borean tundra, /who howling fjord etc. Then you can see which zone is least populated and where the biggest chance for rarespawns are.

Unfortunately, all NPC scanners I know of are banned. Blame the hunters and their greed for rare spawn pets.

Sidonis의 댓글

There's no such thing as a banned AddOn, only restricted functions in the API that Blizzard doesn't want people to be able to use. If NPC Scanner was doing something Blizzard wasn't ok with, the API function that it uses to collect active creature ID numbers wouldn't be accessible.

There's only two things Blizzard can do about an AddOn they don't like, restrict the API function it uses, or threaten legal action (such as when Carbonite tried to charge for it's AddOn), because of a particular feature about an AddOn but restricting the API function would impact too many legitimate uses.

HolemanWarlock의 댓글

There's a great addon for doing this. It's called NPCScan - It comes up with a message with a spinning picture of the rare enemy it found. Clicking the little bar it creates will target the enemy. After a few days, it already helped me getting a kill.

Doggerus의 댓글

npcscan addon is the easiest way to do this, i just leave it running and the number of rares i have randomly flown over n found and then been able to kill is awsome. If you want to go that bit further, npcscan overlay is a small addition to the addon that shows coloured patterns on the map for the spawn areas and traveled paths :)

Waterchamp -- "So when you've done this macro and have it down your action bar, yuo're just supossed to press it once and then it'll keep on going itself or?"

No, fly around within target range and continuously spam the macro. Alternately, you could set this up before heading into the region and tap the macro periodically.

It can also be combined with the sister achievements for outlands Medium Rare.

I get a false positive for "/tar putr". The abominations in Zul'Drak will get targeted instead. You might want to consider editing it to "/tar putridu" provided you can somehow eliminate some 3 characters elsewhere.

Here's one how I got it on my alt. I had parked my main on tlpd duty at the northern spawn just north of Terrace of the Makers. My alt was flying around Zuldrak on the look for other rares, My npcscan alerts of a rare, I find vyragosa, at this point my alt is just NW of Light's breach, looking for zuldrak sentinel. I proceed with killing Vyragosa, roll for the hat she drops, switch to my alt, just to see I got credit for killing it. Unfortunate I forgot to take a screen of it happening, so no proof on that one.

Today (as of patch 7.2) I tamed Loque'nahak on one of my hunters and was awarded with this achievement, regardless of the fact I didn't kill him; I'm not sure if this applies to any of the other tameable creatures considered criteria for this achievement, however.
